I had been looking for an action camera for awhile, mostly for biking but also for hiking and other activities. While biking there have been many things that I would have liked to catch on video or photoed over the years that I have missed. Not to mention the sheer number…

I received my Garmin Virb Elite (for my full review of the Garmin Virb Elite click here) for Xmas and immediately ordered a bunch of different Go-Pro compatible mounts, for various purposes and which all fit the Virb just fine. In another blog entry I will fully review the Garmin Virb Elite itself,…
